Regensburg, May 20, 2014 – The German video
game developer CipSoft presents its title Tibia (1997) on Steam
Greenlight. With that the platform will be possibly extended by
another classic MMORPG. The game is free of charge and also the
download on Steam will be free.

“Since its release, Tibia is and has been constantly
developed and marketed. Thus, it’s only a further logical and
coherent step for us to put Tibia on one of the most successful
online distribution platforms for games and thereby to further
increase our reach and audience,” explains Florian
Jumah-Eckert, Tibia’s Lead Product Manager at CipSoft.

When CipSoft was founded in 2001, Tibia had already been online
for more than four years. With 500,000 active players, Tibia is
currently one of the oldest and most successful MMORPGs worldwide.
It convinces the community by its retro pixel graphics coupled with
unique hardcore PvP action.

“We are very proud of how Tibia has established itself
over years in the online games market. In great part, we owe this
to our loyal customers. Once again, we hope that we can count on
our fans as well as on the support of potential new
customers,” continues Jumah-Eckert.

If the release were successful, Steam would be enriched by
another iconic online role-playing game. Until then, it is up to
CipSoft to collect plenty of votes and to await the next Greenlight
evaluation of Valve.
